From: Kala Art InstituteSupport Kala August 24, 2023!
As August speeds on by, we're reaching out to Kala's community for some end of the fiscal year support. We love that the spirit of creativity and collaboration is alive and well at Kala as we wrap up Kala's 49th year and get ready for 50!! We are proud of all we've accomplished so far. In order to keep the opportunities rolling, we have a fundraising challenge with a goal to raise $80,000 before September 30th to help Kala do what we do best -- nurture creativity, support artists, inspire youth, and connect artists and the community through artist residencies, arts education, exhibitions, and public programs.
